Recently, we've seen the pop up of mass amounts of reality shows, and the fashion industry's part in that is no different. We all know Janice Dickinson's and MTV's attempts to make a hit reality show about the trials and tribulations of aspiring models, but the most popular is, without a doubt, Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model. This show does not depict what typically happens when you try to get into modeling , but it is a way to get yourself out there, quality photos, and a possible modeling agreement with a big time agency. If you're keen on becoming a model and America's Next Top Model is setting up auditions in your area, here are a few questions you want to ask yourself so you can know what to expect.
1. If I get on the program, am I prepared to be seen by everyone as myself? That may sound a little odd, but as a working model, you will be putting on a persona, and on reality TV, you will be yourself. Reality producers want drama, so they look for, and sometimes create, a lot of emotion. It's much more than modeling; it can be more exhausting, and it can also be lots of fun. The show will take you to various amazing countries, and you will get the lucky break to work with some high profile photographers and designers.
2. Will America's Next Top Model actually help me with a real world modeling career? It definitely has the promise to. Firstly, you will have some great pictures for your portfolio. You will learn some skills and garner some industry contacts. In addition, someone may see you on the show and want to use you for their project. If you win, you sign a contract with a modeling agency like Elite, Ford Models, or IMG. Even if you don't win the whole contest, simply by being on the show says that you generally got it in you to get some modeling work on your own.
3. What if I audition and I don't get picked? Does that mean I can't be a model? No, you can still give it a go. Even Tyra Banks was declined by many agencies before finding one that would sign her. America's Next Top Model is looking for a particular type of girl. They are considering looks and personality that will fit with their program, just like each agency has particular tastes. If you audition for America's Next Top Model, just think of it as an audition for one agency, and see how it pans out. If it doesn't turn out like you'd wished for, remember there are many other places to hit up.
So basically, if you want to be on TV and be a model, then America's Next Top Model could be a stepping stone you could use to jump start your modeling career. Most models are never on reality TV, so it is not necessary in order to become a successful model. You can move forward in a modeling career without being on TV. Many of the model contestants who have won the contest are still modeling or have struck out into acting and hosting careers. Regardless of if you are on the show or not, it can be amusing to watch, and maybe you will learn a thing or two about what it takes to be a model. You can learn about auditions on their website. They generally have a list of dates and cities. If you really are interested, you better get a move on.
